ABSTRACT:
The insulation panel (26) includes a corrugated sheet (28) having a fibrous blanket of insulation (32) secured thereto and an end cap (41) secured to an upper portion of the corrugated sheet (28). The end cap (41) provides a means by which an upper portion of the panel (26) may be anchored to a vertical structural wall (11) to be insulated and a means by which a panel (26) in a next upper row may be supported. After installation, fastening means (43) between the end cap (41) and the corrugated sheet (28) is removed to allow the upper portion of the corrugated sheet (28) to float in the end cap (41) and compensate for thermal expansion and contraction. In another embodiment of the panel (26a), the fastening means (43a) between the end cap (41) and the corrugated sheet (28) is frangible and shears in two upon expansion and contraction of the corrugated sheet (28).
